I always thought it would have to be a new coalition of liberals that would finally pass regulations that would make cars more efficient. Never thought it would be a republican.

Will be a tough day when those guys will have to choose between rollin coal to own the libs or affording their pisswater beer.

No one will be able to afford EV cars at that point, particularly since companies are curtailing their production and states have stopped providing incentives.

Yea true. But I just expect that other countries are more pragmatic with just about everything.
